There is a need throughout the county, and a critical need in the West End, for volunteer tutors to work with students at all grade levels, one-on-one, in small groups, or in a classroom situation. Professional teaching experience is not a requirement, a desire to help kids be all that they can be, is.

Volunteers willing to use their own cars, and in some instances a county vehicle, are needed to transport residents to and from medical and other necessary appointments. Days and hours will be on an as-needed basis and mileage reimbursement will be available.

Detail-oriented volunteers to assist in the county-wide income tax assistance program are needed. No professional accounting experience is required and a thorough training program will begin on Thursday, Jan. 8

To become a volunteer, call Norma Fagan at (570) 420-3747 or visit her office at 411 Main St., Stroudsburg.
